Sorry, I can't cover the album you self-funded and worked on for months. This Deloitte consultant is using AI to produce songs called "I Lost My Vape"

Called up to the podcasting big leagues today, folks. Cup of coffee on @jordanjessego.bsky.social recorded in “Los Angeles” a city I currently have no hard feelings toward. Go listen wherever you do that!

Nice of the CBC to put up video of the greatest live band around, and extra nice of them to mix it so you can hear how insanely crisp @sladkow.bsky.social's playing is even in the sweaty-ass dark of Lee's Palace. PUP: still cool AND good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt_J...

In “timing” tonight Maggie Helwig’s book Encampment, very critical of city + local councillor Saxe, won the Toronto Book Award & tomorrow the city is evicting the encampment at her church. Epic timing.

Been listening to D’Angelo all day. His music was a touchstone for me when I was at my most myopic; I heard him blending R&B, Funk, Jazz, Rock, and Hip-Hop in a way that showed a listener like me that the very idea of genre was a limiting & lousy pursuit in the creation of art.
